prime number: numbers that only two factors, for example 29 1x29

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29


composite number: a number that has more than two factors, for example: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 etc....

factor: numbers that you multiply to get a producet, for example 2*4=8, so the factors for 8 are 2 and 4

prime factorization: a number written as the product of its prime factors, for example 12 = 3 * 2 * 2

exponential notation: see above 12=3*2^2
